14th Jan 2024 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Gelded in September and markedly better in his two starts since, finishing close third on nursery debut at Kempton (1m, Polytrack; took strong hold) and narrow winner of a maiden at Wolverhampton (7f, AW); one to consider seriously. |

24th Jan 2024 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Series of good runs on AW since returning from a gelding operation in November, going down by a short-head over 7f here ten days ago; stamina for 1m has to be taken on trust. |
7/2 |

2nd 5 (2) |
14th Jan 2024 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Sole win (ten races) was a 5f novice at Chester last July; has run creditably this winter on all three starts (7f/6f, Tapeta) since gelded but those results also suggest he will again prove vulnerable to an improver. |
8/1 |

1st Jan 2024 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 3lb |
5f winner at Chester last summer; back in top form when third at Southwell 11 days ago but he was no match for Blue Prince on that occasion and his old adversary is preferred despite the revised weights. |

27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Dual winner for Hugo Palmer (6f/7f); third the best he managed for Robert Eddery; failed to see out 1m in two previous attempts so looks best watched on debut for John Butler, who runs two others, back from 292 days off. |
20/1 |

13th 12 (3) |
8th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Two AW wins when trained by Hugo Palmer; he has found the handicapper in command since joining this stable and although his penultimate third at Yarmouth was better, he doesn't look the obvious answer here; stable also run Spring Bloom. |
33/1 |

25th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Not totally solid on his form for current yard but has possibilities off current mark provided latest effort (third at Yarmouth) is backed up; well treated on peak figures. |

13th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Two 6f AW wins for previous yard last winter but it hasn't been easy since winning for this one at Newmarket in August and, after getting closer at Wolverhampton last month, things never went his way from a wide draw at Southwell; needs more weight off his back. |
20/1 |

24th Jan 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Slipped in the weights and back to form in refitted blinkers at Wolverhampton last time; drawn on the outside this time, though, so has to show that can be backed up. |

24th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
C&D winner who bounced right back to form when second of ten back here eight days ago; already due a 2lb rise for that but stall 13 is far from ideal. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 8 (5) |
16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Three Tapeta wins, including C&D; recent form figures not inspiring but she didn't run too badly when sixth of 14 over C&D on her first run back from wind surgery and an excuse emerged last time (reportedly lost action). |
18/1 |
|
9th 10 (7) |
28th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Three Tapeta wins at other venues; finished behind Twilight Diamond at Southwell 24 days ago (first run after a wind operation); may get closer this time. |

26th Mar 2024 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |

Not progressing and he refused to settle tried in this headgear at Wolverhampton last week (7f); others have more potential. |
16/1 |
|
8th 4 (3) |
19th Mar 2024 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
He has shown enough to think he could win races but he isn't progressing and doesn't look straightforward; blinkers now reached for. |
10/1 |
|
5th 2 (5) |
12th Feb 2024 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
0-6 and has inconsistent form but ran creditably, perhaps helped by first-time hood, in Southwell maiden (1m) most recently; may back up that effort with the headgear retained. |
11/2 |
